What is this atrocity? Don't get me wrong, Discovery, Brave New Worlds were quite bad after their first seasons, too. Even Picard was, with its saving grace being more frequent nods to The Next Generation, especially in the last season. But this...

Evolution (2001)

#1125

I watched this movie a lot as a kid. Tried it again, and it's still good in my opinion. At least if you do not expect "high art" from it (similar as you should not withFaculty, that came out a few years earlier). Premise is simple, jokes are

Episode 3:

"Long rain" is the name of the episode. No wonder it felt so long, that I could not finish it. It was extremely boring. The elf guy was stopped in his revenge and suddenly became completely mellow, unmotivated and practically suicidal. The

Episode 3:

"I have only one bed" for the cat-girl, but for the human one - he bough a new one. "I am too old" for the blond, but for the cat-girl or the bar-girl, neither of which look any older, - he is not. He seems to be careful spending the money

Episode 3:

Episode 3:

It really should have been a movie. As is they are just wasting a lot of time on little things, that do not add anything to... Well, anything. Not to world-building, not to character-building. Just superfluous stuff. If it was a 100 (maybe

F*** Marry Kill

#1117

Good for 1 evening, and does not expect you to need it for more. It is a comedy of misunderstandings, in a way, but with mystery and dating. Ok, maybe the comedy part is quite subtle, and won't cause a lot of laughs from you. But surprisingly was

Sonic the Hedgehog 3

#1116

Reeves overshadows Carrey. Kidding, he does not, simply because he has less screen time (if you even count voice-over as such), and I just thought it would be a good pun, since Reeves voices over Shadow.

Puns aside, it's an ok movie. Others have

Event Horizon

#1115

It did not impress me. I do think it's better than2001: A Space Odysseyoverall, but not that much better. It definitely has much better pacing, and a proper story stretched through-out, and not spread like blobs in certain places. It is worse

I did get a refund withing a couple of days, and in the end had to settle for Acronis, after all. I had a touch case with them, as well, where some stupidity was present initially, but in the end we were able to resolve a pretty difficult and obscure

FINE case is still open, there is not much going there, unfortunately, just some back-and-forth, but meanwhile I do have a potentially related update. Last Saturday I tried to withdraw some bitcoins, so that I can use them. I wanted to withdraw them

Super Mario Bros.

#1091

So much undeserved hate for this movie. Yes, it does not. Yes, it has very little to do with the games, but I am not sure it was aiming for that even. It was like that Pacman episode fromSecret Levelanthology: thoughts on a theme. Nothing more,

What If...? Season 3

#1087

Good thing this was the last season.

In first episode, I do not get how some code on USB key was supposed to help them Just because it unlocked some hidden software? I know Banner is one of the smarted men in Marvel, but does it mean the rest were so

Venom: The Last Dance

#1079

I figured out what they were inspired by: Jackie Chan's "The Tuxedo".

No, really, it the bar scene just made it click for me, but thinking back, previous movies were kind of same. And being "same" is probably the main problem of the whole franchise:

Kraven the Hunter

#1078

Is it me or it's worse thanMadame Webeven? At least I managed to watched that one till the end almost without fast-forward. This one... I managed around 15 minutes.

They s ay that first 8 minutes of this movie are good, but when I was watching them

Samsung: Media Picker

At  least they admit that Samsung needs to coordinate checking for compatibility problems. Question is why aren't they doing that?

Maomao baobun is back! Let's go!

Quite a solid start already, I think, since we are already in detective mode with suspicious activity happening, far sooner compared to1st season. Wonder where this will go, though. Can it be that all of this will

Solo Leveling, Season 2

#1051

Based on first 3 episodes, this seems a tad better than1st season. At least the pacing is more stable. There are more hints on a bigger threat now, too, although at the same time it felt like that island thing from 1st season was kind of forgotten.

Not impressed. I hear quite a lot of good reviews about the manga, but anime adaptation felt kind of "meh". Generic, bland. I get it, revenge plot, resurrection of some sort, extra power through that resurrection and from moonlight... I bet

Episode 2:

I see. They are going for a love triangle. The way they've set it up, it even has a chance to become (somewhat) wholesome at some point, but they would need to stop with those erections filling up the whole screen. Not for me, as expected.

Medalist

#1043

Healing anime of the season? It is really wholesome and seems to have great balance between humor and serious topics. I was never in skating or any serious sports, but I totally get it how parents may be worried, how child can be frustrated if

Sakamoto Days

#1042

Not my thing. It is, indeed, similar to "Way of House-Husband", but I find it less funny and more... Mellow? Chill? At least less humorous, I think. It is also somehow both less intense and yet more "insane" at the same time. Possibly because of the

Is this supposed to be related toDandadan?  I really hope it's not and it's just coincidence that Dandadan ended and now we have a show which sounds similar to an unprepared person. And you better be prepared, because it definitely starts as a

Nah, not my thing after all, as expected. I also did not get the point of starting to show the other guy. To me it was obvious that he is not really interested in the girl. Was it just to make viewers think, that maybe he is and maybe this is an

Now the guy is also a woodcutter and driver of heavy machinery. Is there anything, that he can't do? I would have understood, if he was buying some manuals from the store, and reading them before doing stuff, but it does not seem to be the

It felt weird that the premise of the show from the description did not really occur in the first episode. In fact, it did not occur till the middle of 2nd episode even. Equally as weird as the torture sessions in the beginning of the 1st episode. On

I do not like this Kai. He somehow gives me a vibe of manipulator, that is trying to not look like a manipulator. I know that in my previous post I was thinking that there is "gentle pushing", but this episode did not feel like that. It was

Episode 2:

The bog/guy annoyed me this episode. I am also not  buying the fact that he was the first one ever to witness (or use) magic. I mean other kids also saw the lights, right? So someone probably saw them in the past as well, especially if they

黒岩メダカに私の可愛いが通じない

I do not like this girl. She is just a privileged brat, who got used to getting whatever she wants for being cute. She is going for Kuroiwa only because he pretends he is not interested. I know it's the whole point of the show, but I just can't

花は咲く、修羅の如く

It's fine, but not for me. Characters seem interesting and contrasting in some sense or another, and it's clear how the story will be about bonding and self-growth. But I just can't emphasize with recitation. I get it, that the voice and how you use

Where are they going with this? Usually within 1st episode, sometimes 2nd, you can get the general direction of a story, what the authors want to tell you. They can, of course, subvert your expectations, or the narrative can just shift for one reason

Such big eyebrows. Reminds me of that girl with a coffin. Chaika, I think? Although this one is more assertive, and is a magician, not a sniper. Although, I guess, Chaika was kind of a magical sniper. Anyway, wasn't there a show with similar premise

Scaling down was not enough. In fact, the scaling done was not enough.

Yes, now we, technically, have one big main city, and it does have more details than previous 3 games, which makes it feel more alive, but there are still other places outside the

It certainly has a vibe. Not sure how to describe it exactly, but it reminds me of home-videos that were done on VHS tapes when consumer recorders became available. The setting of the show being around that time helps with that, too, I guess. It

Another one that makes no sense to me from beginning. The guy could transfer bentos into the "dream", but somehow never transferred his sword or anything else really? And did not even try to? But, ok, maybe it's just one-way transfer. But why did he

Are we sure this show is about magic? It looks like it's more about sister-brother love. Mostly from sister side, since she is kind of stalkery and generally obsessed with her brother. But the brother does not seem to mind that much. I also assume,

"Death Parade" for kids, I guess? At least I was reminded of it, when watching 1st episode. It's way less stylish, of course, and games are replaced with kind of "detective work", but still kind of similar, since it's a place between life and death,

On January 10th my Microsoft 365 subscription expired and I am not going to renew it. And will be avoiding it going further, at all costs.

There are quite a few reasons for that:

Honey Lemon Soda

It started quite slow. I had to push myself through it a little bit. Possibly because of non-linear narrative. I am not sure it works that well here, at least not the way it was used. But the end of the episode was quite good. I am not sure if this
